I posted it on reddit earlier, but it can also be of use to people who want's to try the game here.
"An Exhilarating Zombie Adventure with a Few Minor Hiccups"
Venturing into the post-apocalyptic world of Somewhere I Belong was a rollercoaster of emotions and thrills that left me genuinely excited for what lies ahead. The game introduces characters with a finesse that immediately drew me in, their personalities and dynamics expertly rendered through high-quality visuals and attention to detail in both characters and backgrounds. Despite a few minor bugs here and there, the overall presentation is undeniably impressive.
The female characters in the game are stunningly designed, and their allure goes beyond mere aesthetics – their likable personalities make forging connections feel natural. Notably, the male protagonist isn't a clichéd figure, but a compelling character with depth, which is a refreshing departure from the norm. Even background characters are not overlooked, adding an unexpected layer of depth to the narrative.
As the story unfolds in this dystopian world plagued by zombies and quarantine zones, the plot delivers intrigue and believability. It's a testament to the writers that the story manages to overshadow occasional flat dialogue. The genuine threat posed by the zombies within the narrative adds an element of suspense and urgency that's often missing in similar settings.
Yet, no game is without its flaws. One recurring concern is the protagonist occasionally falling into the role of the classic horror movie victim, acting oblivious to his surroundings. While subtle, this pattern is noticeable, and I hope the character's intelligence evolves in a way that enhances the immersion rather than detracting from it. Additionally, some camera angles during intimate scenes could use refinement. Descriptions of interactions often misalign with the visual focus, detracting from the intended impact. Addressing these aspects would greatly enhance the game's overall experience.
Still, these critiques don't overshadow the game's considerable strengths. The world-building, character dynamics, and the suspenseful story are definite highlights that keep me invested.
In conclusion, Somewhere I Belong is a thrilling visual novel that offers both heart-pounding action and genuine emotional connection. The few areas needing improvement are overshadowed by the game's remarkable potential. As the developers continue refining and expanding the experience, there's no doubt that this game has the chance to be an unforgettable adventure worth every moment and penny invested.
